Precisely. People forget just how hard it was to get any information on this stuff before the internet became what it is today. Plus the author didn't build it and obviously respects the builder. So if he says it's a Chinese Dragunov why wouldn't you believe him? It's his gun, he rechambered it, and he just repaired your Browning.

There's an additional fun combloc note from these dark times as well. One of the first builders of semi auto Skorpions had a Hell of a time learning anything about them since he didn't realize it was spelled with a " k" and really wasn't a gun guy.

" There was only one problem with this. RT Manufacturing had literally no idea what a Vz61 was or looked like. Further, Jack now laughingly admits he did not even know there was a “K” in the Skorpion name instead of the Americanized “C”. For this reason his first Internet searches turned up no information. Not admitting failure, Jack made the October, 2003, pilgrimage to Knob Creek and purchased his first Skorpion parts kit. Though he had the parts kit, he still did not know what it should look like."
